because government isn't a business. you can always find efficiencies and you should always be looking for efficiencies. but i haven't seen a good example yet of a business person, to government and make it run like a business. there's a lot of talk about that, but we forget the cultures are very different and the presumed outcomes are different as well. i think we are missing here an opportunity for both candidates to be leading -- using these very important weeks ahead to lead a national discussion on priorities. you know, to frame the real priorities for the country come which seems to get lost in the garble or the cacophony of the message today. but it's probably not unusual because you look at elections past, whether it was president obama talking about renegotiating nafta during his campaign or listen to be or bill clinton, the butchers of beijing, he ends up forging a pretty strong relationship with china. so i think you have to discount a lot of the rhetoric and a lot of what you hear about priorities at this poi
